Eddie Palmieri And His Conjunto "La Perfecta" by Eddie Palmieri And His Conjunto "La Perfecta", released in 1962 on Alegre Records

La Perfecta is the name Eddie Palmieri gave to the band he formed in 1961, after signing up with Al Santiago’s Alegre record label. The band featured vocalist Ismael Quintana, who Eddie happened to hear as Ismael was auditioning for the Orlando Marin orchestra. At the time this recording was produced, the Pachanga was in full swing using the typical Charanga orchestration. Charanga bands used violins and flute instead of brass horns. Palmieri decided to replace the violins with two trombones for a heavier sound. Eddie’s brother Charlie, dubbed this combination the ‘trombanga‘, referring to the combination. Before long, Willie Colon and other bandleaders were formed emulating La Perfecta’s rich and bold blend...

„Historias de Amor y otras mierdas“

Wer energiegeladene und schweißtreibende Livekonzerte, musikalische Vielfalt und Bands wie The Cat Empire, Manu Chao, Gogol Bordello oder Chico Trujillo liebt, sollte Eskorzo auf keinen Fall verpassen. Die bereits 1995 gegründete Band aus Granada gilt als Vorreiter der Mestizo-Bewegung in Spanien und vereint so unterschiedliche Stile wie Cumbia, Afrobeat, Gypsy-Punk, Reggae, Ska, Funk und Jazz. Beeinflusst von Künstlern wie Fishbone, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Talking Heads, The Clash, Mano Negra oder Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, sind die sieben Musiker von Eskorzo heute selbst eine Referenz für authentische musikalische Fusion auf höchstem Niveau.

Barretto Para Bailar by Ray Barretto Charanga Band, released on Riverside in 1961

Raymundo "Ray" Barretto Pagán (April 29, 1929 – February 17, 2006) was an American percussionist and bandleader of Puerto Rican descent. Throughout his career as a percussionist, he played a wide variety of Latin music styles, as well as Latin jazz. His first hit, "El Watusi", was recorded by his Charanga Moderna in 1962, becoming the most successful pachanga song in the United States. In the late 1960s, Barretto became one of the leading exponents of boogaloo and what would later be known as salsa. Nonetheless, many of Barretto's recordings would remain rooted in more traditional genres such as son cubano. - Wikipedia
